and, honestly... as laughable as my point of view could ever be... you have to agree that the whole: boo hooo the bad singapore store wont do refunds (when the same store in wherever does) and i want my money back cause i just dont feel like i want my very expensive BAG! is funny to say the least.....

hibri2,

unpaid clerk or underpaid clerk - he is still irrelevant.

Your rant about this topic is irrelevant.

For your info I was not crying, I was ranting. There is a difference.

And furthermore, who are you to judge?

Don't give me this big talk about morals and greed.

Just to add to this, you have completely missed the point!

And where does a poor unpaid clerk get into this?

Hibri2,

You are right you will get a lot of remarks on what you said. Unless you live off the grid there is no way you won't contribute to global commercialism.

Actually, my reply from Coach HQ was very prompt and when I contacted the outlet here, I was dealt with very swiftly after my HQ enquiry. I CAN get a refund, although they tell me that it is against their policy. Although after checking my receipt it clearly states that exchanged and refunds can be ...

Hi all, I am soo frustrated when shopping in Singapore. Its bad enough that you are overcharged most of the time, but throw in the no refund policy they are so fond of and you find yourself vowing never to shop at that store again! My first experience of this was when I brought a book for my son at ...

Thanks Sammy,

I think I'll check out whats there to offer for Krabi and Koh Samui. I must be having a mental block cos now looking at your list the destinations are oh so obvious!!! doh!

More hotel recommendations pleeeeeezee.....

Hello fellow travellers, I'm sure you're all well travelled worldly people. So please give me the best place to go for a family friendly long weekend. I need to plan a family break but I also need some 'fresh' destinations. Please feel free to rave about the hotel you stayed at or the best restauran...

Hiya!!

I'm also surprise to find this group!! But also very happy. The canto group have their own little community in Singapore. Incidently which part of the world are you all from? And what brings you to Singapore?

Yeah, I agree with you, the sandwichshop make some great sandwiches, the Staffs are exceptionally friendly and helpful and they do use top quality produces. I'm a regular there and aside from lunch, its also a great place to hang out for a coffee

hello I didn't get the 'leftover' schools, I actually got my son into one of the schools on my shortlist. But it was very tense because you want to sort it out and get on with life. The schools are in no rush to and will tell you today to bring your child in to start in two days time, they would exp...

Hello all, I am also in the same boat, so I hope that my experience might help you. We have already arrived in Singapore and have also been trying to secure a placement for our sons, age 5 and 8. We are self employed and have to work within our budget to remain here. We are also base in the East coa...

Yes your son can attend local goverment school, but you have to approach the schools to find out if he'll be accepted. You should visit www.moe.gov.sg to find out if your son should be starting primary 1. With Goverment local schools you are require to make a biannual contribution of $1000 to the MO...

thanks felicityue, I was hoping for more informations other than Etonhouse. What about Pat's playhouse on fort road? Or other childcare centres? I've checked out that locally there's just a handful of childcare centres, and I will have to take a trek around and visit all of them. But, some firsthand...

Hiya all, We'll be moving to Tanjong Rhu road, and I need to know if there are any good kindergarden schools near there. My son is 5 years old. Please give me any details about any kindergardens schools around this area, good or bad, so that i have an idea of which to avoid and which to visit. Thank...
